Hello All,
My name is Chris and I have recently gotten into lifting weights. I am 23 years old, 5'9", BF is about 22%. I am trying to cut as well as tone my muscles, so I was hoping that you could critique what I am doing. I will list my diet and workout schedule and just let me know what you think. My end goal is to have a body that looks like Chillen's.
First, I lift weights 3 times a week doing full body workouts. I work every major muscle group and do 3 sets (10 high weight, 10 medium, 12 low) on M, W, F. I also play competitive roller hockey 3 times a week on T, H, and Sunday so that is the extent of my cardio. Here is what my diet looks like...
Daily Calorie Log
• Breakfast (7am):
o Lowcarb yogurt: 80
o Apple: 90
o 1 oz. chicken: 60
o Total: 230
• Breakfast/Lunch Snack (9:30am):
o 1 oz. chicken: 60
o Total: 290
• Lunch (12pm):
o Turkey Sandwich (multi-grain bread, 4 oz. turkey and 1 slice American cheese): 380
o Vegetables with Ranch Dressing (80 calories per serving of ranch): 100
o Total: 770
• Lunch/Dinner Snack (2:30pm):
o 1 oz. chicken: 60
o Total: 830
• Dinner (5pm):
o Taco (carb smart tortilla shell, 4 oz. lean ground beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, Taco Bell fire sauce): 400
o Total: 1230
• Dinner/ 4th meal Snack (7pm)
o 1 oz. chicken: 60
o Total: 1290
• 4th Meal (9pm)
o 4 oz. chicken or bison steak with A1 sauce: 180+40
o Vegetables with Ranch Dressing: 100
o Total: 1610
My BMR is around 1850 calories per day, so I think that this is pretty good, especially with the hockey that I get in. After my weight lifting, I also take 60g dextrose/maltodextrin 50:50 mix and 2 scoops protein powder.
Do you guys think this is a good way to cut? Also, when I want to build muscle, should I tweak my workout schedule/exercises/diet? I really appreciate anyone who would take the time to critique me. Thanks Again!
